Facts I, Part 2

Facts I, Part 2

Because I was running into issues with surpassing the number of characters in this post, I'm going to divide into Facts I (Somer, Diena, Samuel, Sean, C. Perry) and Facts II (Gano House, Law Enforcement, Other People, Garbage, RSOs, Unrelated) and the Part number will change as we go.

Please do not quote whole post. Bring a correction or addition to my attention with copy/paste.

Facts II, Part 2

Facts II, Part 2

Because I was running into issues with surpassing the number of characters in this post, I'm going to divide into Facts I (Somer, Diena, Samuel, Sean, C. Perry) and Facts II (Gano House, Law Enforcement, Other People, Garbage, RSOs, Unrelated) and the Part number will change as we go.

GANO AVENUE HOUSE· This house caught fire months ago and is being restored.· Work crews have been at that house.· VD&B is the contractor working on the house.· Kyle, who works with the contractor, was there on October 19, and said that Somer came in the yard, told him that he/they were doing a good job on the house, and went back the way she came.· Kyle is the last person known to see Somer alive.· There are propane tanks surrounded by a fence about a block the house (toward school).· J., a minor, was riding his bike home when he saw Somer running around near the tanks and that she he thought she was excited but had a frown on her face.· OPAA is a park and sporting fields across the street from the house.· LE searched the house extensively on Thursday and Friday.· The Gano House was proclaimed a crime scene, as was the search area.

LAW ENFORCEMENT· LE searched the Gano Avenue house extensively and the men's room at OPAA briefly and came out with a bag.· An autopsy was performed, and LE knows the cause of death, but that have not released that information.· Sheriff reports only one person cleared in the investigation into Somer’s death and that is him.· Investigators made the request / recommendation that Somer's casket be closed.

· A woman who did not want to be identified told First Coast News that she asked investigators to check the vacant house on Gano Avenue and its dumpster. A woman, who did not want to be identified, tells First Coast News' Monica Landeros she asked investigators to search this vacant home and dumpster on Monday night. She says, "I'm upset. It's like, should I have looked, should I have gone in the dumpster?
· A female neighbor (reportedly Anna Braddy), when questioned about the trash pick-up day, made a comment that the trash had already been collected that day so to take that however you want to (paraphrased). See post.

· Houses in the vicinity of the Gano house were searched on Tuesday, October 20. The search literally hit home for schools Superintendent Ben Wortham, who lives about 100 yards from the Gano Drive spot where Somer was last seen. About 2 a.m. Tuesday, his house and many others in the vicinity were “searched from top to bottom,” Wortham said.

GARBAGE· Bruce Owens, suggests to the sheriff that all trash trucks should be followed and searched so they can isolate the trash coming out of this area, the trash trucks are then followed. (Later reported that Joe Jett gets credit for this.)· Somer was found dead on October 21 in the Chesser Island Landfill in Folkston, Georgia.· LE followed the trucks to the Chesser Island Landfill. · There is at least one video of an interview with Diena that is blacked out-significant portion of interview is missing at the point where DT is recalling something from the day.Because it was raw video and they edited out camera man movement?

RSOs· There are 161 RSOs that live within 5 miles of Somer’s home.· CWG’s name and contact info appears on the initial police report (in error as a case of mistaken identity) detailing her disappearance, along with the names of family, neighbors, and others.· The owner of VD&B has a brother who is an RSO. His name is GCV.· Since Somer disappeared many RSO’s have been arrested for failing to update their addresses.

UNRELATED BUT YET, RELATED· What was thought to be an attempted abduction 10 days before Somer's disappearance turned out not to be an attempted abduction and was not related to Somer's disappearance according to LE. Even after LE said there was no connection, reports on blue Nissans poured in to the CCSO.

· A police report in the Clay County Daily indicated that 4 burglary suspects were arrested at the Thompson home. LE later said that the address was in error and gave this explanation: An officer who was at the Thompson home was called to an unrelated burglary call and made the arrest of 4 individuals but when he filed his report, he forgot to change the address. If you check the Clay County Daily for 10/21, you will find the correct information now.

I think I will be stuck in the previous thread for a while... haha those comments are a real deep pit to me.

Some thoughts without quoting the posts (sorrY)

Sorrell,
No need to worry friend.. Im not venturing into the woods any time soon and after the list of woods from cam, I was thinking I couldnt possibly tape all that, I dint realize there were so many woods around there. So, no worries, but I will get what i can, if it stops raining..

Hounds THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I know its not proof positive.. but I have believed all along that they found that inital bookbag at home. But of course, they arent saying are they? That was the only reason I could see for them to start over on the description. AND that makes me go hmmmmmmm,,, anyone else?

Im off to play with my beautiful grands... see you all later tonight. Lots to think about.. good sleuthing everyone...

Shine Somer Shine!

My posts are my opinion only; you may not use my posts for
anything, except quoting within the Websleuths Forum.

There is no way to be a perfect mother, but there are a million ways to be a good one!

OK. it worked for me (Search Dogs Follow Scent, Used Bedsheet 10/21 5 p.m.) ... it's the dog handler talking and how she used bed sheets. Comment at end is that they are not sure that the scent was not Somer's from a previous day.

No one ever said she ran ahead of her. She stated she walked home with her

I am saying that if LE felt she was near the Gano house then why do you think they have the dogs in the woods and not around gano which you would think would have been the first place they looked.
They know what they are doing and why they are looking there
We just dont know the info they had

EVEN the MPR states: SP said AT told him that while they were walking home together Somer Thompson ran off by herself AHEAD of them.

[snipped...] She had been walking with her two siblings, including a twin brother, and friend when she got into an argument with another child. Somer walked ahead of the group and was never seen again.
************************

[snipped...] Somer Thompson went missing around 3 p.m. Monday afternoon when she was walking home from school. She, her twin brother, her 10-year-old sister and several friends were headed home when Somer and a friend got into a small argument. When Somer's older sister told her to "quit fighting," Somer reportedly got angry and ran ahead of the group. But when everyone got home, Somer had not yet arrived.
************************

[snipped...] Somer vanished Monday while on her way home from school with her twin and 10-year-old sister. She had argued with the two other children, Thompson said, and ran ahead of them, far enough that they lost sight of her.

School out
ran from AT after comment about fight at school
Running by the tanks per boy
Walked home with girl she got in fight with at school per the girl
Scene at Gano and grovepark per connie C
Do we know for sure where the friend lives? Maybe that would point to where she walked. The uncle I think lives on same street as TJ on the police report
